It's a pesky problem with that faith.
Hardly a "problem" in our "faith" when we don't make that claim. Religious conservatives made that our claim, and that's your problem. Not ours.

Have not researched Benjamin Bannecker, but your prejudice is astounding!
Horse hockey, the people who do the work keep their money and many became wealthy. They all were capitalists.
You might want to read the Mayflower Compact.
The prejudice I reference is your attitude toward a man who is not only my favorite, but should be considered a hero. As far as a name I had not heard, I do not (after seeing the prejudice you displayed,) particularly care what yuo think of that situation. There is a ton to respond to, and I only posted a little.You could have at least asked what I was talking about, inasmuch as you clearly don't even know and barked up the wrong tree...

You must not have actually read the OP.
The problem identified in the OP was that the colonists were not getting to keep the profit, but were required to send the profit to the shareholders in England.
When they changed that arrangement and kept the profit themselves, they worked more effectively.
The concept of separation of Church and state was brought to America by that very group of people. That's why they were called "Separatists" in England.
My point is that they did not intend to impress their religion on anyone outside their group. In fact, as staunch Calvinists, their understanding that attempting to press their religion on someone who was not Elect was useless anyway.
It's not a problem, it just shows God can act outside of the known laws of science.
Once again, many atheists don't claim that. I don't.With a no God scenario you are the one who must square with how all the matter and energy came from nothing.
Uh huh...Atheists are thinking inside the box.
It takes more faith to be an atheist.
Well at least you tried.The Swiss cheese of atheism has more holes than cheese.That is why that fable blast won't go without challenge.
It doesn't have to be original.Why not? When you are making up your own character, why not make him awesome?

Man, I would give you points if that comment was original.
Well at least you tried.
That is a main reason for the thread, and yes, I noticed (to the degree it was true,) and so did the Pilgrims on the Mayflower.The primary problem with the scheme was that the profits of the colony were not kept by the colony, but went to capitalists who didn't participate in the work.
Am I the only person who noticed that?
